John Nash at Langham Place, England

John Nash was a renowned British architect responsible for designing much of Regency London under the patronage of Prince George IV. His innovative designs also showcased his pioneering work in Picturesque architecture. The Royal Pavilion in Brighton and Buckingham Palace are two of his most iconic buildings, with the latter's facade facing The Mall being an early 20th-century remodelling by Aston Webb. As one of the greatest architects of metropolitan London during the Regency era, John Nash was a highly original and prolific designer. He is best known for using neoclassical architecture in the Marylebone region of London, particularly in Regent's Park (1812-27). This impressive complex of rigorously classical buildings showcased his unique blend of irregular views with Neoclassical structures. Nash's work was part of the Picturesque movement, which combined diverse styles and urbanistic ideas. He was among the initiators of the revival of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, Exoticism, and similar styles that became characteristic of 19th-century English architecture. His notable projects included city terraces in London (Royal Mews 1825; Cumberland Terrace 1828; Carlton Terrace 1827-32), major urban structures (Theatre Royal Haymarket 1820), country houses and castellated villas (East Cowes Castle 1798-1802; Ravensworth Castle 1808), and picturesque cottages (Blaise Hamlet 1810-11). Nash also designed the neoclassical All Souls Church in Langham Place (1822–24) and the gothic-style St. Mary's Church Haggerston (1825–27). His most unorthodox building was the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, a fantastic version of Indian design with elements of Chinese, Moorish, and Gothic architecture. The layout of London's West End, including Trafalgar Square, St James's Park, and the Royal Mews off The Mall, owes a great deal to Nash's innovative designs and planning. He worked on Buckingham Palace, although his royal commissions were lost after the King's death.
